     mother-in-law can't attend!  

I do not have a relationship with my fiance' mother. He, too is a bit estranged from her, however he is a positive and compassionate man. He reminds himself that he only has one mother.

When we got engaged we decided to have a destination wedding in the caribbean!!! We have only brainstormed with my parents about this, because they are paying for everything. My fiance' brother cannot really afford the trip, so my dad offered to pay for him and his wife to be there! The big clincher is that my future Mother-in-law cannot afford to go. Because of our history, my parents do not think it's appropriate to offer to pay for her.

My fiance says he's excited about the wedding plans, but is concerned about the repercussions this will have on his already "not great" relationship with her. To be completely honest, there is a part of me that doesn't really want her to be there for fear that she will rain on our parade!

Am I a horrible person? What should I do? Help!
